The New Girl Scout Leadership Program Model

The New Girl Scout Leadership Experience program model was introduced in the Fall of 2008. All troops must have transitioned to the new program by Fall of 2010. The new program is centered on building the world’s best leadership experience that ties activities to outcomes, provides differentiation for girls from kindergarten through high school, and offers flexible pathways for today’s diverse and busy girls and volunteers.

The program model offers a renewed focus on leadership development that ties all Girl Scout experiences to one or more of the 15 national leadership outcomes, or benefits, categorizing them under the three keys to leadership (Discover, Connect and Take Action). The three keys to leadership replace Girl Scouting’s “four program goals.”
